                         WORKPLACE SHELL SAMPLE README
                         -----------------------------

This sample application is a beta version of a sample to be released
with the OS/2 Toolkit.  The TextFolder sample only allows Plain Text
objects to be put in it. Objects that aren't Plain Text are rejected.
Objects are considered to be Plain Text if the Associated Type in the
Settings is set to Plain Text. If no type is set the folder checks the
first 500 bytes. If any characters are control or extended ASCII
characters, the object is rejected.

This Workplace Shell sample can be used by installing it using the
INSTALL.CMD file located in this subdirectory.  This installation
procedure copies the required DLLs and executable files to the
appropriate TKBETA subdirectories.  The procedure assumes that your
CONFIG.SYS file has already been modified so that the WPS classes can
be found.  For example,

        TKBETA\OS2BIN  should be in PATH
        TKBETA\DLL     should be in LIBPATH
        TKBETA\OS2HELP should be in HELP
        TKBETA\OS2LIB  should be in LIB

INSTALL.CMD registers the class with the Workplace Shell.  Also, an
instance of this object class is created on the desktop.

The OS/2 Toolkit Version 2.x is required to build the sample.
A makefile (with the extension .MAK) is supplied with the sample.
This file references the OS2H, the SC and the OS2LIB directories in
the TKBETA directory structure.  In order to build the sample, either
(1) the makefile must be modified to reference the OS2H, the SC and
the OS2LIB files in the TOOLKT2x directory structure, or (2) the OS2H,
the SC and the OS2LIB files must be copied to the TKBETA directory
structure.
